Shopping Cart Salsa

salsa-winnerThis salsa was originally named Shopping Cart Salsa. You pick up the items, pulse them, and you are done. This recipe was entered into my granddaughter’ school salsa contest and it took FIRST PLACE! Congratulations Leighann.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 tomatillos, peeled, washed and chopped
  • 1/2 vadallia onion – chopped
  • 5 cloves smashed fresh garlic (or to taste)
  • 1 entire bunch chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 TBL lime juice
  • 2 entire bunches chopped scallions (greens only)
  • 4 jalapenos (seeded and de-veined for milder salsa)
    • optional:  substitute de-veined serrano peppers
  • 1/1 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp seasoned Rice Vinegar

STEP BY STEP

  1. Prepare as shown above, then combine all ingredients into a blender and pulse for just a few seconds – you still want it fairly chunky.
  2. Store in a medium bowl and mix well.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight for best results.

Crispy Hot Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 250º
  2. Prepare a mixture of 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 2 TBL baking powder
  3. Pat 24 wings dry – if frozen, thaw before patting dry
  4. Toss wings in seasoning mix
  5. Season wings prior to putting into the oven
  6. Bake wings for 30 minutes.  This will render much of the grease out of the wings, so they will smoke less.  The baking powder will also remove much of the liquid.
  7. Remove wings to a large mixing bowl, and turn the temperature of the oven up to 450º
  8. Add 2 TBL coconut oil or canola oil and toss to coat
  9. Meanwhile, mix 1 tsp GTP or desired seasonings, along with 1 TBL AP flour and 1 tsp cornstarch – and toss to coat all wings evenly
  10. Put onto greased wire rack on top of rimmed cookie pan.
  11. Bake at 450º for 30 minutes
  12. Flip, then bake another 15 minutes.
  13. Toss in Frank’s Red Hot Sauce or BBQ Sauce mixed with half as much melted butter.
